Neither is true.
Bayern rules by financial prowess, not obedience. It might be a strange idea for United fans but there actually are clubs that know how to turn their economic edge into on field dominance.
In all seriousness, I honestly don’t know how much leeway Sancho should be allowed.
Of course I want him to succeed and show the form he had at Dortmund where he genuinely looked like a world beater. He was one of the most productive players in the world.
But he’s now played over 50 games for Utd. I’m being 100% serious when I say I can’t remember a single game where I thought he has been outstanding the whole game. I’ve seen moments and that’s it. Like the Liverpool goal. But even when he’s scored he’s been anonymous for far too much of the game.
I don’t even think he’s had any man of the match performances yet after being here nearly 1.5 years. I watch the likes of Saka and Martinelli and see them have outstanding games and have a real threat. I’ve seen it more times just this season than I’ve seen from Sancho since he arrived.
There’s nothing more I’d love for this guy to step it up and be a huge success, but I’ve just not seen anything to give me hope or feeling that he will come good. He’s clearly not performing at the level he did in Germany. Which makes me think there’s only 2 possible explanations. Bundesliga is easier to perform in or he has an issue with having a weak mentality.
In his 50+ appearances so far, I can’t even remember one full back which he’s really troubled all game. Even a pensioner Azpi had a comfortable game against him yesterday.
I just don’t know how much more time we give him to even show us some hope. Antony for example has already shown us that there’s genuine talent that can be worked with and is improving every game. With Sancho it just seems to be the odd moment of “good play” every now and then.
I honestly don’t know what’s happened to him since he’s arrived.
